Sorrentino and Helppi Rising

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Raffaele Sorrentino
Raffaele Sorrentino

Raffaele Sorrentino raised to 22,000 and Erik Friberg made it 60,000 to go from one seat over, which the Italian called. On the flop of {A-Hearts}{4-Spades}{2-Spades}, Sorrentino checked and called a bet of 55,000 by Friberg before the {6-Diamonds} turn and {10-Clubs} river were checked through. Sorrentino showed {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} for a set and won the pot.

Juha Helppi also bumped his stack up nicely. It started rather innocent with a raise by Dirk Gerritse from under the gun and a call by Rosen Angelov on the button, as well as a call by Helppi from the big blind. By the time the turn showed {10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, Helppi checked and Gerritse bet 80,000. Rosen called and Helppi then check-shoved for 231,000 to force folds from both opponents,
